Neuropharmacology 

The unit comprises the groups of Hanns Ulrich Zeilhofer and two independent groups headed of Dietmar Benke (Alumni since May 2025) and Sevasti Gaspari. The Zeilhofer group focuses on sensory processing on the spinal cord circuits and on pain. The research focus of the Benke group was trafficking of G-protein coupled receptors and protein-protein interactions of GABA-B receptors. The Gaspari group studies oligodendrocytes in painful diabetic neuropathy.
